Hello,
First of all i'm sorry to write you in english but i don't speak german . I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in Italiener Str. 63 , 9500 Villach . It has 2 rooms : 1 bedroom , 1 living room, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen (58m2 ).
I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in Austria, but now she's back home permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time.
Before we go any further I would like to know a little something about you, like how many persons you intend to live in the apartment, and for how long.
The flat is exactly like in the pictures, furnished and renovated. The utilities (coldhot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV , dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are included in the price of rent ,you will have one parking spot , the rent is 330 EURmonth . The guarantee deposit is EUR 1000,00, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment (you will have to give me at least 30 days notice). As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building her life here, and i am too old to move to Austria, so we won't disturb you.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture.
Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Eleonora Boscarino and I'm a 56 years old , Deputy Director of CAMERA DI COMMERCIO from Milano/Italy, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely husband, Franco and a 25 year old daughter, Giulia. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandmother ). Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave Milano even for one single day. We just hired some new staff and I'm in charge of their training.
But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from Milano (on my expense of course).
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
All the best from Italy!
Mrs. Eleonora Boscarino
Via Maddalena, 5

I contacted with this woman and everything looked OK, but then I search her email on google and she appears in a rental scam webpage. Are you sure it is a scam? Her emails seem ok

The email is scripted and a standard format - eventually, the scammer will ask you to pay a deposit to an escrow or delivery company in order to recieve the keys.

Never pay money for an appartment to anyone, unless you have physically been inside the apartment - if the landlord gives any excuses why you can't view the inside before paying money to them then it is 100% certain to be a scam.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
